So, even though I have watched the movie Forrest Gump for years, I came to a realization the last time I watched it. Forrest Gump is an amazing example of agape love. Complete, unconditional, sacrificial love for everyone in his life. This is the way that God loves us.
God loves us completely unconditionaly. No matter how many times we turn away from God, he is still there, pursuing us, loving us.
Sometimes it is amazing to think about that. How no matter what we do, God STILL loves us. This is a mind blowing concept to me. Agape love is such a beautiful thing that people strive for, but very seldomly achieve. Agape love is something that, if people acheived, the world would be a more beautiful place!
I love the way that God loves me and the way that I get to have such a personal relationship with Him. Through all the reading that I have done in the Bible and other books, it is amazing to see just how much God loves me. God sent His only son to die for me, and the mistakes that I have made, and haven't even thought about making yet. Complete, unconditional, sacrificial love for me!
God desires to be in relationship with me, and I am learning how to let that happen. It is really hard sometimes to wait for God to show me the things that he wants for me in my life. Even though I know that God knows what is best for me, I still often think that I know what is good for me, and what is better for me! How dumb and silly am I? I mean really?
Agape love is such a neat and beautiful thing! I love that I get to experience it with God!
Love you all!
